LinuxLinks has a 12-section article on the various free and open source score writers available for composers and musicians.
Fortunately, there is a wide range of open source scorewriters which are supported in Linux. This article recommends cost-effective alternatives to Sibelius and Finale. The software featured here is released under freely distributable licenses, all are available to download at no charge, and generate music scores which are engraved with traditional layout rules.
This article does not limit itself to software with a graphical user interface. One of the benefits of using software which doesn't depend on a graphical interface is that you can create and edit music on any type of device, even small handheld devices.
Towards the bottom of the first page, there is a table of the score writers reviewed. Each is reviewed on a separate page. Follow the links there to the individual pages describing each one.

I haven't used DeNemo in quite awhile, but I seem to recall that when I did I couldn't break lines where I wanted to. Unless that was the one that kept crashing. Once MuseScore started to allow me to adjust notehead sizes (or I figured out how to do so) I stopped trying to get the others to work, so this is probably a comment on a version three or four years ago.
Javascript is what you use to allow unknown third parties to run software you have no idea about on your computer.
